We have owned 3 of them for our children. They used them far longer than they would have other seats, because of the increased maximum height and weight. They are comfortable as well. My boys loved riding in their...

IF MY OLDEST CHILD TOUCHES IT HE THROUGHS A FIT.  ITS EASY TO MOVE FROM VEHICLE TO VEHICLE ITS AFFORDABLE AND NO TO BIG. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS AS AN EXCELLENT SEAT FOR A TWO YEAR OLD...

It is wicked exspensive and they charge $80 just for replacement cover!                                                                                    b.) the install direction are confusing , depending on what year DOM it changes and just seem generally unclear. can be hard to fit in some cars — I love it for its ability to go to 80 pounds with the 5-point. its super easy to install once you've got it figured out. solid molded piece so you don't have to worry about the mistery pieces you can't see showing...

The car seat easily clicks into the base and is very safe. The stroller steers easily and is well balanced. The stroller also folds out pretty easily as well. The handle on the car seat has soft material so it's not rough on the...

I used it with my son which is my first child and I really like it. This car seat was also available in patterns that matched the stroller. The fact that the car seat latches into the stroller was very handy when my son was an infant, this way I could let him sleep or whatever. Also it is nice that you can latch the car seat in the car with of without the base, you can with mine anyway I don't know about all of...

Very comfortable instead of those usual hard plastic seat. Great fabric and design and best of all the saftey. This seat is a big seat with side impact protection. My son loves it and never have any trouble with him wanting to come out. Very comfortable he usually falls right asleep. Fits a child 0- 60lbs , rear and front facing. No need to buy 3 carseats as people usually do. Only problem is the buckle located by childs crotch is set too far back (just have to watch not to pinch the child when strapping them...

Compact enough to take in and out of our cars. And compare to the the best brands I love all graco items.  This car seat has been used so often and we are still able to use just wash the cover and it looks brand new. — ...

We found this carseat at walmart and bought 2, (one for each car) for $150.00 on sale at Walmart. — My baby has beaten on it, dumped various fluids on it, and still it has maintained it's integrity. It's a comfortable, durable car seat for a great price! —...

I drive a ford edge, my wife a kia spectra. In both cars the base is not a good fit. No matter how well you install it the base still moves around. We have found that if you use the belt with the car seat alone you get a more secure fit. The car seat doesn't move at all once the base is taken...

You can also tote the seat to the store and put it up on the cart. The restraint system is adjustable, so it grows with your baby and stays comfortable. The price is reasonable. — What I don't like is the base! It took forever to install and we needed to use rolled up towels, the directions said to do this, to level the base. This looks bad and the towels become dislodged and what a pain to get them back in correctly. Not what i want to be doing when i am late to pick up my other child and baby is crying sitting in the driveway! The level device wobbles between green and red so it is hard to tell if the thing is truly level. And finally, and worse of all, the seat is almost vertical, so baby is totally propped up and her head  wobbles forward occasionally. Even after we adjusted the base with another towel(that just...

He ways almost fifty pounds and the seat belt still doesnt fit him just right.  Our laws indicate that kids must have these seats for their safety but I honestly feel like he would have been more safe and secure in just a seatbelt.  Maybe its just me but the car seat didnt seem like it served any kind of purpose.  I know it wasnt the fact that he was to big or to small for the car seat so why didnt it look secure enough?  I know these laws are set for a very good reason, the safety of our kids are very important to me and you.  So how is it that these companys that make these cars seats dont have the same concerns that we do while making them?  I noticed while my nephew was sitting in this car seat even with the seat belt as tight as i could get it his seat still wiggeled and wabbeled in the cars seat.  I would not...

The seat is great for parents who only want to buy one seat for the duration of your child's car seat life. Both of my children (ages three and four) have this seat and they can easily get in themselves, yet cannot yet unstrap themselves when it is time to get out. The biggest drawback is the difficult process of getting the cover on and off in order to wash it. This a labor extensive and time consuming process which involves an occasional frustration. But, the cover is fairly easy to spot clean, so unless the cover gets REALLY bad, I have been able to keep it in good working order. — —...

We found this carseat and just love it. My lil one just loves the fact she has her own cup holder. It fits very well in my newer van I have now (and even so in the old car I had) and holds tight on seat. I'v had carseats and booster when you turned they also turned over. This is a brand I would highly recommend to anyone. My stroller is the same name. —...

The release mechanism -- to loosen it -- works perfectly, but the reverse gives up a real problem.  Other than that, we love the car seat and my daughter does too! —...
